Send him/her a certified return receipt requested letter to the attorney stating that you no longer with for him/her to represent you. Be aware that if you owe your attorney any funds, that the attorney will probably not hand over any materials that you need for the hearing.

I suggest you go ahead and find another attorney and have the new attorney file a substitution of counsel.
